Happy 3rd birthday to our Friday the 13th litter! And to mom’s America the Beautiful litter! 🐾

I was completely in love with this litter, and so exhausted after having just homed the last litter of Cinder. Susie started early afternoon, and mom’s Molly went into labor as Susie still had 2 to go!

I think I spent more time sleeping in their whelping box than any other place 😂

Sabrina and Lady May ended up staying with me ❤️

Susie and Olaf make some incredible babies, and I’m sad that I won’t have that cross again. But I am excited for the up and coming line!

[NOTE: This photo is just picture of a pond in the summer. NOT a picture of a pond with the toxin.] Cyanobacteria can have many different looks, including not being visible at all. Link to Kentucky Division of Water for more photos and information: https://eec.ky.gov/Environmental-Protection/Water/Monitor/Pages/HABS.aspx #:~:text=Harmful%20Algal%20Blooms%20Division%20of%20Water&text=A%20harmful%20algal%20bloom%2C%20or,skin%20in%20animals%20or%20humans.
"Death follows minutes to hours after exposure to a small amount of this toxin." As the weather gets hotter, ponds can start to have "algae blooms." The water itself can look like pea soup, or like green paint is spread on the surface of the water. Sometimes it is not visible at all. Some of these blooms are cyanobacteria, which can produce potent toxins. Dogs are exposed when they wade in the water and either drink the water directly, or lick it off themselves when they come out. There is no antidote; treatment is supportive and many dogs don't survive. If you believe your dog has been exposed, bathe him immediately. If he has any symptoms, bring him right in to a veterinarian. See comments for more information about signs and treatment. (Most ponds that look like this are not dangerous, but it is not possible to tell which ones are toxic and which ones aren't except by having the water tested; If in doubt, keep pets out.)

I had to watch Miss Lydia closely after birth. Here she is tucked under her mommas ear for warmth 😍

Lydia loves her mommy, and it’s so cute!

Happy Birthday to my Holy Pawpers litter! ❤️😍

So, if you’ve seen the muddy mats advertised for pet paws, and wondered if they’re worth it.. they absolutely are!

I’d recommend getting the biggest size they have, but I have their large and it’s about the size of a bath mat.

New rug, and sofa & chair covers. Of course the pack has to model it, they always think all of this stuff is for them. Oh wait, it is…. ❤️😂

I love this crazy pack of mine. My 4 “children” are almost 1!
Ruth Ann Red, Abigail, Magdalena, and Lydia. The sisters dominate my pack coming in at 6 of my 11! With the older sisters birthday coming up next month, turning 3!

Here’s some pics of last weekend and this weekend of the pack helping me with some deep cleaning, reorganizing, rearranging, replacing and can’t forget relaxing ☺️

9.5 hour work day, stalls done and horses in, 1 dog groomed, my house clean, and a shower by 8:30! 💪

I have spent all weekend with my babies ❤️ we’ve all just been couch potatoes, watching Netflix and eating snack while napping.

25/06/2024

Ham looks absolutely delighted, Abigail looks “sorry, not sorry” over playing in the water jug because I told them they could NOT play in the mud puddle 🤦🏼‍♀️

When I want to tire out the doggies, I put them outside and do stuff, like: mow, w**d whip, clean my truck, etc. they will run back and forth watching me work. By the time I come inside tired out, they’re ready to come inside and pass out 😂

Pictures of scraggly, ready for a groom muffins 🥰

I think I’ll give Olaf a quick botch job of a groom today 😅

Picked up a few new toys for the pack today, every 2 weeks I grab a few clearance toys, or toys that were a big hit from the last time. Today, I grabbed a rope ball with a rope handle on it, they are having a blast!

Yesterday we tested pack recall when they discovered a snapping turtle in the yard. First time ever having put “release” to the test outside for the younger girls. It was chaotic, but, they did listen!

With the start of my new job, it’s been an adjustment for everyone. The dogs settled nicely into their new routine, but for me, it’s been harder than I even expected. Early mornings and late nights leave less than desired sleep time. So today was a “I’m not doing anything that is absolutely needed” day. Which has given me an hour nap with Ham on my lap, and a 2 hour nap with Ruth Ann sprawled out across me 😂

I finally feel like maybe I can make it through another week.

I started a new job on Thursday. So our routine around here has changed, A LOT. Thankfully, everyone seems okay with the change, besides my Lady May who protests by refusing to eat and only eating when I feed her by hand 🥺

Spent all of yesterday deep cleaning and rearranging the house. Now this morning just snuggling with my babies 💕

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms on here, with kids and fur kids a-like!

Spoiled the pack with some new toys today.

I thought we could all use some joy, too.

This girl melts my heart 🥹

Tomorrow this big guy goes to fulfill a role he was born for. This special boy was the reason I woke up many days, the reason I could sleep many nights. He held me while I cried, and goofed around with me when I needed a laugh. Whatever I was feeling, Rudy was there for me.

But recently, a family who adopted his brother W***y from me in October, asked if I had another for their family. W***y has brought so much joy to that family, and has helped “his” boy out immensely the past few months, and Rudy will now go on to help him even more! When they say, doodles are like potato chips, you can’t have just one.. this is the proof!

Never in a million years did I think I’d let Rudy go, but after seeing how loved W***y is and how spoiled he is, how much fun he has.. it makes sense. Rudy deserves to play fetch every evening and be fought over on who gets to sleep with him each night. He deserves everything that’s good in this world. And as much as it completely breaks my heart to say goodbye to this goofball, I know he will not just have my love, but the love of his new family 💕

3 more groomed today!

Now the mud puppies can get on my lap and snuggle again without making me a sandbox lol

Cinder is the biggest kid 😂

Spa days translates to the dogs as “mom needs zero personal space, and it’s totally okay to climb all over her with our wet and muddy paws.” 🙃

Monkey managed to somehow perch on my head. She is absolutely determined to be as close to my face as she can get. Which then makes everyone else need to be on me, as well. Despite my shower today, I am now covered in mud 😅

My resigned face when Abigail, who smells like a frog and looks like one, too.. decided she had to sit on me, too 😂

Groomed 3 on Saturday, and 3 today ❤️ there is nothing better than freshly groomed babies. Smell like blueberries and so incredibly soft 💕

The younger girls are blowing me away with their maturity lately. They’re gaining privileges throughout the house.

Monkey jumped up to ask for a bath, so she got a groom. She behaved throughout the whole process as a seasoned pro! Not surprising as she’s always been quite good about it.

Maggie asked next, which WAS surprising. And she behaved so absolutely perfectly throughout the whole process. She even had to have her ears plucked today.

Usually, I have the bathroom door shut to discourage run aways. But I’ve been leaving everyone out and the door open so they can come and go, and no one even tried to leave the grooming table! 💕

I think it’s important for the youngsters to watch the adults get groomed, they really start to understand that grooming is a great thing!

Smart little Ham. Figured, “if little bunny can come in here, I can go out there!”

This morning Abraham decided to go on an adventure. He snuck himself out of the fence, enjoyed a snack of fluff, and made his mom run back and forth down my driveway as he ran back and forth along the fence. Then, he ran down my driveway, stopped and bolted up to the house where he’d stay just out of reach until running into the back yard. Some deer spooked in the woods and I prayed hard he wouldn’t try to chase the deer.

Ham knows how to come, he just doesn’t apply his knowledge in the great outdoors.. time for some training drills.

He ran around, tail wagging and nose to the ground, then booked it to the bottom of my driveway where my heart dropped out of my chest. He finally decided he had enough of the game and came up to me.. probably because he could hear my heart beating so hard and he sure does love his mommy.

Ham made a baby bunny friend today 🥹

He wouldn’t come in, so I went out to see, and out hopped a tiny little baby bunny.. right to Ham, and laid down with him. Bunny must’ve thought Ham was his mom 😂

Ham was so cute, just wagging his tail and looking at me like “mom, can I keep him?”

Always cuddling like a baby 🥰
